how does bird wire work

Bird wire as a deterrent for pest birds is a popular choice for many business and building owners. This type of bird proofing involves a system of steel springs and wires, fixed between pillars. The spring-tensioned post and wire bird deterrent system constructs an unstable landing space that dissuades pest birds from landing.

When the birds try to land, they are faced with the physical barrier of the bird wire and put off from trying to land or nest. Installing a bird wire system can prevent the many problems and financial impacts caused by pest birds, especially in urban areas.

Being a completely humane bird deterrent, wire doesn’t hurt pest birds, such as pigeons and seagulls when they attempt to land. It is also environmentally safe and will not damage buildings or affect surrounding structures.

Bird wire protects against different species of pest birds and is best suited for light pressure bird problems. Bird deterrent wire is extremely effective at preventing pigeons and seagulls from perching or roosting in unwanted areas. Small birds can land on the wires, but when installed by a professional bird control company, the wires can be positioned with varied spacing for the system to work efficiently.

Bird wire systems are not only effective but easy to install and discreet. The versatility of bird deterrent wire means it can be fitted to almost any surface or architectural feature, from roof ridges, glass fronted buildings to metal cladding and steel beams. It can even be applied to awkward areas such as brick ledges, parapets, gutters, and pipes, making it a bird deterrent suitable for many applications.

There are advantages of bird wire over other bird deterrents such as bird spikes or nets. As an almost invisible bird deterrent, the wire system doesn’t damage the aesthetics or structure of a building.

Bird wire is ideal for new buildings where pest birds haven’t ventured to prevent bird droppings from fouling the fascia in the first place.

When compared to other bird control methods such as bird nets or spikes, bird wire systems are often favoured for their versatility and durability, while preserving the look and style of a building. If you are looking for a fast and effectual way of keeping pest birds away, once installed, bird wire is immediately effective

Known also as “trip wire” or “pin and wire” systems, this method of bird control does minimal harm to structures. If it needs to be taken out, mortar can be used to fix any minor damage the steel pins may have caused, preventing more harm to the building.

Seagulls and pigeons are particularly effective at being deterred by bird wire, but smaller birds are less successful. But in order for the system to work properly, the wires must be positioned and tensioned appropriately, so you’ll need to get in touch with a qualified bird pest controller.

Because of its durability, bird control wire is an affordable option. It’s safe for the environment and mostly used to keep feral pigeons and seagulls away. Depending on the spacing widths, smaller birds can land on the wires and build their nests there.

The wire is versatile and durable. The bird control system can be fastened to concrete and metal structures, as well as roof ridges, thanks to the large selection of fixing pins available. Usually positioned at different heights, the wires make it difficult, if not impossible, for the birds to land and roost.

Many people prefer the aesthetic appearance of bird wire over bird spikes because the former are practically invisible to the unaided eye and the latter, because of their constructive nature, appear far less humane. The only disadvantage of wires is that, unlike spikes, they cannot be positioned atop lampposts.

The physical barrier of the bird wire prevents the birds from landing, discouraging them from attempting to nest or land. Particularly in urban areas, installing a bird wire system can stop the numerous issues and financial losses brought on by pest birds.

When compared to other bird deterrents like spikes or nets, bird wire has certain advantages. The wire system works as an almost undetectable bird deterrent without compromising a building’s structural integrity or aesthetic appeal.

To stop bird droppings from ever bothering the fascia, bird wire is perfect for newly constructed buildings where pest birds haven’t yet made their way.
